Abstract: A wire drawing die assembly has removable pressure and draw nibs held in screw-together holders. The pressure nib projects somewhat from its holder and presses the draw nib into a converging passageway in the draw nib holder. A lubricant pressure chamber is formed between the nibs for lubricant which is introduced through the front end of the pressure nib. When the draw nib becomes worn, the holders can be separated and the worn nib can be readily replaced.

Abstract: A protective aqueous antimicrobial film forming composition that can be applied to dairy animals to form a protective film. The film can be used to reduce the incidence of both contagious and environmental mastitis in dairy herds and can be formed from an aqueous composition that can contain a nonionic iodine complex, a polyvinyl alcohol composition, having a degree of hydrolysis greater than 92%, preferably greater than 98%, and a thickener. The aqueous mixture can be applied to udder and teats of dairy herds to form a protective coating that can prevent infection from staphlococcus, streptococcus, klebsiella and other pathogens. The film can be removed using water in a convenient short period of time permitting efficient milking operations. After milking, the composition can be reapplied to the herd and can protect the herd from mastitis until the herd is again milked. The material of the invention has the property that after application and drying both films and plugs of the protective coating is softened and removed even in cold water in a convenient time frame.

Abstract: A method for casting metering holes connecting the inner and outer surfaces of hollow investment cast objects, such as hollow air cooled gas turbine airfoils. The method incorporates mini cores having metering hole pins which extend further into the inner cavity than the surface of the cavity, so that the ends of the holes can be exposed by a subsequent machining operation. The method also includes forming a wax pattern which avoids contact between the wax and the metering hole pins so that the pins are not broken by the wax during the heatup portion of the wax removal step after formation of the ceramic casting mold.

Abstract: An apparatus and process for combining an organic fibrous material with a thermoplastic material forming a wood-imitating composite. The mixed material is extruded into a die system comprising a transition die, a stranding die and a molding die. The flow rate of the material through the die system is equalized by preforming the mixed material with the transition die to a shape approaching the end product, stranding the material with the stranding die to form individual strands, and compressing the individual strands with the molding die after it exits the stranding die. The die system may also include an adapter die positioned between the extruder and the transition die which functions to control the amount of mixed material which enters the die system. A product comprised of recyclables shredded and mixed to form a wood-imitating composite from a low-temperature extruder is also provided.

Abstract: The invention pertains to a process and device for regulating the position of the tip of an electrode immersing in an electric furnace heated by electric arc or resistance heating. To measure with precision the position of the electrode tip and to position it in operation, the invention proposes that a series of gas containers (26) be introduced into the electrode in succession at certain intervals, with each gas container given a serial number (ni). The position of the electrode tip is determined by computer from the data of the last gas container with the serial number (nj) and the current number of the melted-open gas container, determined by gas analysis, using the gas that rises in the furnace vessel through the melting process. Control technology is then applied to the drive (41) of the electrode bearing device (20).

Abstract: The invention concerns low dust content surfactant granulates which have increased bulk density but nevertheless dissolve well in water. These granulates can be prepared by a process in which an anionic surfactant or a plurality of anionic surfactants in its/their acid form and a highly-concentrated aqueous alkaline component are acted upon separately by a gaseous medium, are combined, neutralized in a multi-substance nozzle and, under high propellant pressure, are sprayed in a drying tower. The acid and alkaline components are combined in almost stoechiometric amounts and the resultant solid, finely particulate products are conveyed to a mechanical mixer in which the fine particles are agglomerated to form granulates having a bulk density of at least 400 g/l.

Abstract: The invention provides for an environmentally safe composition of a non-toxic, edible, biodegradable skeet (32) that is used for trap shooting. The skeet is designed so that it can be stacked as well as being able to withstand the throwing force of the trap. The skeet (32) is fabricated from a mixture of flour, water, and a non-toxic material. This non-toxic material can be an edible substance, such as birdseed (36), an additive such as fertilizer, or a combination of the substance and the additive. This composition of flour, water, and non-toxic material is placed in a mold and is baked to harden. The resulting skeet (32) is one which is easily breakable by a shotgun blast but able to withstand the throwing force of the trap. The design and shape of the skeet possesses an aerodynamic structure which permits the target (skeet) to be projected with considerable speed into the air.

Abstract: The method derives a desired motion characteristic in a controller and passing it with motion parameters to a drive controller. If a safety limit is exceeded, the lift cabin is stopped. The same motion parameters are passed to a second controller for a reference drive so that a triggering part moved by the reference drive has the same motion characteristic. The triggering part is movably connected to the lift cabin so that a switch for stopping the cabin is triggered by the triggering part if the deviation of the lift cabin from the motion characteristic is greater than the safety limit.

Abstract: Whether the running condition or the working condition is discriminated, when the running condition is discriminated, the highest RPM of a prime mover is limited by a 1st RPM, and the maximum displacement value by a 1st volume value, and, when the working condition is discriminated, the highest RPM is limited by a 2nd RPM equal to or lower than the 1st RPM and the maximum displacement volume is limited by the 2nd volume value larger than the 1st volume value. The 1st and 2nd RPM's and the 1st and 2nd volume values are determined to satisfy the relation, (1st RPM x 1st volume value at least at the flat land running pressure) < (2nd RPM x 2nd volume value at the pressure lower than the torque limit control range). With this arrangement, the pump discharge flowrate at least during the flat land running is lowered than that during the working, the pressure loss during the running can be decreased, the motor effective pressure is increased at one and the same pump pressure, the output torque can be increased, and the maximum displacement volume of the motor can be decreased in proportion to the decreased amount of the maximum discharge flowrate of the pump, thus making the circuit arrangement compact in size. <IMAGE>
